14. ABSTRACT
Characterization of active military ranges is critical to the sustainability of training lands for the United States Military. An important
element in this characterization is the determination of explosives residues resulting from both live fire and disposal of dudded munitions
on these ranges. The U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory has developed a suite of tools for use in sampling for
residues in both soils and snow. These tools are lightweight, rugged, and easy to clean. Through extensive field use, they have been
optimized for ease of use and sample accuracy. This Technical Note describes these tools and their use in different environments.
